Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Some people are part-time workers for economic reasons: They want full-time work but cannot find it. These people are called involuntary part-time workers. Other people choose to be part time for non-economic reasons. These reasons include health problems, family or personal responsibilities, and/or educational commitments that limit availability for work.
